Description: Hispanic Psychology offers students, researchers, and practitioners the most contemporary and complete view of psychological writings available today. The topics tackled by distinguished editor Amado Padilla and a team of social scientists include adaptation to a new culture in the U.S., the role of the family in acculturation, ethnic identification for Hispanics, health and mental health service and research needs of Hispanics, and changing gender roles in Hispanic culture.

The problems the contributors explore are not simple - they include Chicano male gang members, homeless female AIDS victims, and the educational resiliency of students.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 326-361) and index.
